Pain Control: Support for People with Cancer

Watch cancer patients and members of their health care team discuss the issues and steps for keeping cancer pain under control. You will learn how to manage cancer pain, how to talk about pain with the health care team, the different medicines and methods for pain control, and other ways to get comfortable, taking attention away from pain. The video was originally done as a supplement to the NCI booklet, Pain Control, http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/coping/paincontrol/page1.
